Verse 1:
D5
  There's something 
you should know
That I could never tell
Bb5
  You think that I am better 
D5
  I thought of telling you 
at home or on the phone
Bb5
  Or written in a letter


Refrain 1:
         G5
When the world is asleep
      C5
I am still trying 
             D5
to figure it out
        G5
And the secrets I'm keeping
    A5                Bb5  C5 A5
Are what I am always about


Chorus 1:
D5
  I know I got off easy
Bb5
  God knows why you believe me
G5            A5
Hiding behind little white lies
D5
  This time I got off easy
Bb5
  When will you ever see?
       G5
That I got, and I got, and I 
A5
got off, and I got off easy


Interlude:  D5 --


Verse 2:
D5
  There's something 
you would know
If you could read my mind
Bb5
  Or look behind my cover
D5
  Creeping around at night
                Bb5
Is it impossible  to be 
an honest lover?


Refrain 2:
        G5
So I'll live and I'll die
      C5                    D5
Never be satisfied till tommorow
      G5
Can I change this? Arrange this 
   A5                      Bb5     C5 A5
to keep me from feeling so hollow?


Chorus 2:
D5
  I know I got off easy
Bb5
  God knows why you believe me
G5            A5
Hiding behind little white lies
D5
  This time I got off easy
Bb5
  When will you ever see?
       G5
That I got, and I got, and I 
A5                     D5
got off, and I got off easy
       G5
That I got, and I got, and I 
A5                     Bb5  C5
got off, and I got off easy
